Loosen the four screws, which hold the starter
against the crankcase and remove the starter.
2
Pull the cord out about 30 cm and lift it into the
notch on the outside of the starter pulley. Release
the tension in the return spring by letting the starter
pulley rotate anti-clockwise. See figures 1 and 2.
WARNING!
If the spring tension is activated on
the starter pulley, the spring can fly
out and cause personal injury.
Use protective goggles.

Undo the screw in the center of the pulley and
remove the pulley. Loosen the screws on the
cassette and remove the cassette and spring.
See figure 3.
Cleaning and inspection
Clean all components and check:
• The starter cord.
• That the starter pawls on the flywheel are
intact, i.e. that they spring back to the center
and move easily.
• Lubricate the return spring with a light oil.
